Milling an aluminum R/C VW beetle chassis on a Momus Design CNC router

[ChevyTBlover]

You know someone was gonna ask. What router are you using and what kind of endmill. And do you have any DOC and feeds? I'm half way done with my Momus design.

@ChevyTBlover It's a Ridgid R2400 router, @lowest rpm. 3 different end mills- 3/32", 1/8", and 1/4". Feedrates between about 35 and 65 ipm, and DOC between .017" and .035". The heavier DOCs on the 1/4" end mill. All endmills were solid carbide 2 flute, with 45 degree helix angle and cutting geometry for aluminum. No coating. They were cheap ones off eBay but work great. The smaller sizes were held in a 1/8" collet reducer from Elaire Corporation. Have fun with the rest of the build!

Great Work and thanks for updating your channel. I thought you gave up on the greatest DIY CNC router available. I would love to build your design, but unfortunately I dont have the means to buy your design, Im from Accra- West Africa. How can you help?
